Global stocks have risen as Wall Street investors look to US-Chinese trade talks to resolve seven-months of trade turbulence and uncertainty between the two nations.
Professor Michael Wesley from ANU's College of Asia and the Pacific says China looks likely to make a deal before the deadline on March 1.
He warns President Trump will likely take a hard line on security guarantees on intellectual property, among other issues.
Professor Wesley says if a deal is struck it could 'forge new ground on international trade law' that will greatly impact President Trump's approach to other countries in the region.
